See story on Page 38. WASHINGTON (JTA) — Voters in Tuesday's elections chose three Jewish senators, two governors and at least 22 congressmen, 10 more than in the present House of Representatives. The Jewish contingent, coming from states in the East, South, Midwest and California is believed to be a record. Nineteen, including three women, are Democrats and three are Republicans This compares to 10 Democrats and two Republicans in the present Congress. The Democratic landslide, occasioned by the nation's economy, a high rate of joblessness, the prospect of higher taxes and the Watergate scandals, will apparently give the Democrats control of the senate by 63 to 37 and the House by 290 to 145. The Democrats gained five Senate seats and.; about 40 House seats. Although the Democratic Party is traditionally the more liberal of the two major parties and generally supportive of foreign aid, there was considerable speculation that the new Congress may act differently in view of the commitments by many of the candidates to help America regain its economic -strength. That might mean curtailment of the foreign assistance programs, including aid to Israel. Democratic Governor Milton Shapp in Pennsylvania and Marvin Mandell in Maryland were re-elected to second terms, but in Michigan the Jewish candidate on the Democratic ticket, former state senator Sander Levin, narrowly lost to Republican incumbent Governor William G. Milliken who was helped by on the scene campaigning by President Ford. Shapp is the first Pennsylvania governor in 99 years to succeed himself. He received 55 per cent of the vote. Mandell won going away with about (Continued on Page 38) , NEW YORK, Nov. 4 (JTA)—A mammoth crowd estimated at between 150-200,000 people packed Dag Hammarskjold Plaza and adjacent streets near the United Nations Monday to hear speakers representing American labor, politics, the civil rights move- ment and the clergy — both Christian and Jewish — proclaim solidarity with Israel and denounce the UN General Assembly's bestowal of legitimacy on the terrorist Palestine Liberation Organization. The throng also heard from two Israeli statesmen—former Foreign Minister Abba Eban and former Defense Minister Moshe Dayan — who declared that Israel will de- termine its own fate and continue to fulfill the Zionist ideal. About 1,500 policemen maintained security. Though the demonstration was emo- tional, order was maintained throughout the more than two hours of speeches, recitations and songs. There were no incidents. A group of seven Arabs who staged a counter dem- onstration a few blocks away at the Isaiah Wall, were virtually ignored. - The speakers at the demonstration included the two rival candidates for the United States Senate from New York State — Sen. Jacob K. Javits, Republican, and former U.S. Attorney General Ramsay Clark, Democrat. Also on the platform was Sen. Harry M. Jackson (D.—Wash.) who declared, "We cannot be silent while the PLO is permitted to terrorize its way into the United Na- tions." Jackson said he could "imagine no greater insult to the Palestinian Arabs,. no greater slap at their hopes to lead decent, moral lives, than to have foisted upon - them by the UN a murderous band which represents no one but itself." Javits noted that Israel "has rightfully declared that it will never negotiate with . the PLO," and added, "The United States as a friend of Israel, should honor this re- fusal and stand by Israel against the onslaught of hatred that is about to be heard in the General Assembly." "The United Nations, in its Javits asked, "How can anyone suggest that present composition and mood, Israel be asked to recognize a band of terrorists who have never won an election and who speak would refuse to support the no language but the language of wanton and Ten Commandments because willful killing?" they came out of Israel." Clark declared, "It is critically important that —Abba EbUn at the UN all of America's leaders speak with one voice on rally in New York this issue."
